Really lovely spot in sumner. The owners were super nice and helpful and the shower was one of the best showers I’ve had in my entire life.
Nice and close to the beach. Communication was great and the room had everything needed to cook a small meal. Outside of the busyness of Christchurch, this is a great town to visit and place to stay.
Thank you for yet another gorgeous stay! Love the family room we get each visit. Super clean, lots of facilities and great staff - thank you! Sumner is such a beautiful place - love the beaches, people, local shops and restaurants. We will be back. Thank you!

Fantastic stay - great location.
This property was recommended to us as a great place to stay when travelling with your family dog. It didn't disappoint.
Communication was fabulous, the apartment was clean and had what we needed for our stay. Fantastic location for access to beaches and walkways as well as Sumner village. Highly reccommend.
Despite helpfullness at office, was disappointed on arrival to find my door was awry on its hinges and wouldn't shut. (It was fixed later which was good). AlsoThe bathroom basin plug was jammed closed so unable to let water out. I felt that the cleaners must have noticed these faults and should have reported them to the office. Other than that it was a clean and pleasant apartment and I would consider booking again.
